Book Reviews of I Know Just What You Mean: The Power of Friendship in Women's Lives
Book Review: A Very Slow Read
Summary: 1 Stars
This book was selected for my women's book club. We expected a great forum to discuss womens relationships. Unfortunately, the book was so dry that half of the women couldn't finish it. It felt like the stories seemed to be repetative and often common sense - making me think, "I know just what you mean, get on with it." I agree with another reviewer who mentioned they focused on talking about mostly women of privileged lives and I would add mostly those in their age bracket. The book did not live up to it's potential of encouragement, suggestions, or humor.
